i successfully installed your theme test drive plugin, which i've heard gets rav reviews and is exactly what i'm needing at the moment. the problem comes when i have to put in the url to install the theme. the theme has already been installed in my wordpress site, and successfully. i was using it a bit before i installed your plugin. but when i put the url (www.myblog.com/wp-content/themes/headway-166) in the plugin, the system says Downloading the theme from http://www.backyardecosystem.c…..eadway-166 Unpacking the theme Error installing the theme. You can try installing the theme manually: i'm not sure what's going on or why it isn't working. it didn't seem to be working for other themes either. i deleted the plugin and tried reinstalling it, but still no go. any thoughts? i'm still using wordpress 2.9.2. thanks!

Try talking to your hosting provider, it seems to be a permissions problem
